Can from Sainsbury’s. Hazy golden body with loads of flecks beneath a thick off-white head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of red apple and tomato. Flavour of orange rind and lemon peel. Medium body with a slick texture. Soft fizz. I don’t think I’ll be buying the Full Circle four-pack again in a hurry - most of the beers looked like snow globes once poured, and they all tasted fairly average. Shame, I’ve enjoyed their beers in the past and was pleased to see them hit the supermarket shelves.
